Motor cooling

Astro's post re: Ninco Subaru got me thinking. I know, it doesn't happen very often! Quite a few motors come with stickers wrapped around them. The one's which concern me are the mabuchi ones such as those supplied in Pink Kar, and also the proslot evo range. The cans, as most of you know have 2 cooling slots (I presume that's what they are) on one side, running parallel to the armature. I usually cut the stickers away from these slots. Am I wasting my time or would it do some good say, in an endurance race?
I know the slots make it easy to spray lighter fluid in to clean the comm (hopefully)

Surely no-one still thinks that it will all ignite in your face... If this has ever happened, I will personally replace your eyebrows (I have enough for two people). For the last time, the flammable liquid conducts the electricity so that it doesn't spark. Therefore no explosions, see?

Yes Lotus I've "cleaned" them before and as you say - no ignition

. Is lighter fluid a good substitute if you haven't got any switch cleaner? Just curious what's out there...
Maybe someone should personally replace my brain cell

Ah, cavitation! The scourge of every submariner

I thought it was just a noise issue. I had no idea that it eventually knackers propellers.
Run silent, run deep my friends! I still dip (get it..dip? oh well) into 688i Hunter Killer now and again.
Fergy, when you mention low voltage, do you mean AA size 1.5 volt, or maybe as high as a PP3 9volt battery?
